Finally, in Spain, which was shaken by the Rubiales incident, an error that took place in the international press came to the fore. The Spanish government mistakenly awarded the Royal Sports Merit Medal to Mauro Icardi’s sister, Ivana Icardi, who sweated the Galatasaray jersey.
The Spanish National Sports Council (CSD) has issued an apology after awarding the Royal Order of Sporting Merit to Mauro Icardi’s sister, Ivana Icardi, instead of captain Ivana Andres, who won the Women’s World Cup.
After the mistake was corrected, Ivana Icardi made a statement on the subject on social media.
“I want a Medal for having to endure my friends and acquaintances celebrating me more than my birthday today,” Ivana Icardi said in her statement.
Ahora quiero una medalla solo por news tenido que aguantar a todos mis amigos y conocidos felicitándome hoy más que el día de mi cumpleaños 😂
